Summit Medical Healthcare Refrigerator Description:
EQTemp by Accucold introduces a new series of affordable, specialty refrigeration solutions for healthcare facilities seeking specialized cold storage.
Summit ACR1011WNSF456 Medical Healthcare Refrigerator is an upright 12.71 cu.ft. all-refrigerator. It features a clean white exterior and a blue-accented control panel. The solid door is equipped with a self-closing mechanism to help protect stored items from being overexposed to room temperature. A factory-installed lock offers added security, and the hospital-grade cord with a ‘green dot’ plug ensures a secure connection for high-traffic areas.
The Summit ACR1011WNSF456 Medical Healthcare Refrigerator includes an external readout of the interior temperature, as well as the high/low temperature as required for data records. The buffered temperature probe is encased in a bottle filled with glass beads for improved accuracy and calibrated to NIST standards in our in-house ISO/IEC 17025:2017 certified laboratory. The digital temperature controls allow you to set the interior between 2 and 8ºC. An audible alarm sounds if the temperature goes out of range. We also include a pre-installed 3/8″ access port for users to add their own monitoring equipment if preferred. The interior includes one wire shelf in the center to hold the temperature probe and additional adjustable shelves to accommodate different sizes. Internal LED lighting provides an efficient and convenient view. Automatic defrost reduces user maintenance and an internal fan ensures powerful temperature recovery after door openings.
EQTemp’s series of ACR refrigeration is certified to the NSF/ANSI 456 Vaccine Storage Standard. All models feature hydrocarbon refrigerant for a greener footprint. Additional sizes are available, as well as more advanced cold storage equipment purpose-built for laboratory and life science storage. Browse the full product line to explore our extensive selection.
Note: EQTemp’s ACR Series refrigerators are intended for a wide variety of healthcare storage applications. Storage of high-value vaccines, life science materials, and medical/clinical biologicals require a product offering tighter temperature control and/or alarms, monitoring, and backup

Product FAQ
What is the ACR1011WNSF456 and what is it designed for?
The ACR1011WNSF456 is a compact healthcare-grade upright refrigerator with approximately 280 L (≈ 9.88 cu ft) capacity and a width of ~59 cm (≈ 23.4″). It is certified to the vaccine-storage standard and suited for use in clinical, pharmacy or laboratory environments requiring reliable +2 °C to +8 °C storage.
What temperature range and control features does it support?
It maintains an internal temperature range of about +2 °C to +8 °C and uses a digital microprocessor controller with external temperature read-out and a buffered temperature probe for accurate stored-product monitoring.
What alarms, monitoring and security features are included?
Includes audible/visual high/ and low-temperature alarms, door-ajar alert, power-failure warning, remote alarm contact outputs, dedicated probe-access port, and a factory-installed keyed lock for secure containment. Self-closing door helps reduce temperature exposure when left open.
What construction and usability features support its healthcare application?
Features include hospital-grade “green-dot” power cord, adjustable wire shelving, LED interior lighting, fan-forced internal airflow for uniform cooling, automatic defrost for reduced maintenance, sealed-back cabinet design, and front-breathing ventilation for built-in or freestanding placement.
Shipping FAQ
What are the exterior dimensions and shipping weight?
Approximate external dimensions: 135 cm H × 59 cm W × 70 cm D (≈ 53.1″ × 23.4″ × 27.8″); shipping weight about ~53 kg (≈ 117 lb).
What electrical and installation requirements apply?
Operates on 115 V AC / 60 Hz, drawing approximately 2.0 amps. Requires a dedicated grounded outlet, level placement surface, and adequate clearance for ventilation and door-swing.
What steps should be taken during unpacking and placement?
Inspect the unit for shipping damage on arrival; if transported on its side allow it to stand upright for several hours before powering; ensure the cabinet is level; maintain full door-swing and ventilation clearance; test controller and alarms before loading contents.
What delivery or shipping method is typical for this model?
Due to its clinical-grade design, the unit typically ships via palletized freight. Ensure receiving access, stable off-loading surface, and clear installation pathway before delivery.
Application FAQ
Is this unit suitable for vaccine or pharmaceutical cold-chain storage?
Yes — the ACR1011WNSF456 is designed for healthcare settings, supports the +2 °C to +8 °C range, and includes monitoring, alarm and locking features aligned to clinical protocols.
What daily best practices should be followed for operation?
Use a calibrated data logger at mid-shelf height, label and rotate stored inventory regularly, avoid over-packing shelves which may restrict airflow, minimize door-open time, and record internal temperature readings at the start of each day.
What routine maintenance is recommended?
Clean condenser/ventilation areas semi-annually; verify alarm, probe and thermostat functionality monthly; inspect door-gasket seal annually for integrity; and keep the unit level with unobstructed airflow and proper ventilation.
What should be done in the event of a temperature excursion or alarm?
Document the event time, temperature deviation and contents affected; if needed relocate items to approved backup storage; identify and correct the root cause (door ajar, blocked airflow, power interruption); restore proper conditions and log corrective actions per your facility’s standard operating procedure.
